Roll Cage: Window Bar, Knee bar, Rear Down tubes

Posted by Tom Hampton , 02-17-2011 · 1,403 views

Today’s job was to finish fitting and tack in all parts of the main cage, if I could. Everything always seems to go slower than you want! Anyway, the things left are the Winshield bar, knee bar, and rear down-tubes. I spent most of the day on the windshield bar. The windshield bar and knee bar both fit between the cage sides that I finished yesterday. The trick (if there is one) is that both bars need to fit tight between the sides. Since the knee bar is straight its a little easier to fit.


Windshield Bar
The Windshield bar is another bar whose fit is rather critical without much room for error. Also, like the cage sides I wasn’t sure of the exact geometry that I was supposed to follow. Given the shape of the bends I began testing placements, angling various different ways from straight vertical towards the roof to straight horizontal protruding into the windshield space. I settled on a slightly upward placement that is aligned with the back edge of the windshield frame, and weather-strip. it fits tight to the sheet metal…and keeps the bars away from my head space.
